Insipiring to read how an artist sees their own life. Also learned some Japanese history on the way, although the boom after the post-war era was repeated atleast three times which makes me wonder whether the original texts were a bit different in each, while the English was rather similar.
In any case a very enjoyable read.

Interesting autobiography of a manga artist. Enjoyable read, provides the historical context for a lot of the events taking place.

First I rated this book fewer stars because the epilogue unsettled and irritated me.
Now, a few days after putting the book aside, I've logged back on because I realized the epilogue is GENIUS---as is the rest of the book. Wonderful reading

3.5. I really liked watching the development of the forms Tatsumi would eventually become famous for, especially the various arguments about the nature, future, and mechanics of manga the author has, mostly with his brother. That relationship, in fact, was the most compelling part of this memoir for me.
